Appearing before an excited gathering of conservatives just outside of Washington, D.C., President Trump celebrated his ascent to the White House, vowing to press ahead with his legislative agenda, declaring that his 2016 win was a “victory was a victory and a win for conservative values,” and taking a fresh round of shots at the news media.

“The era of empty talk is over,” the President said, in a line that could well be part of a speech to a Joint Session of Congress next Tuesday night, February 28.

In today’s address to the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), Mr. Trump made the case for multiple items on his agenda – getting rid of the Obama health law, a major military buildup, strong measures on the border with Mexico, tax cuts and more – as he said now, “is the time for action.”
